THIS JUST IN FROM poster LadyNavyVet: "Here's an interesting tidbit I found at Rasmussen's site under his section on the Daily Presidential Tracking Poll dated yesterday: "Among Hispanic voters[nationwide], Obama leads 58% to 35%." Hey, McCainez, how's that turbo-charged hispandering working out for you? You might want to think about taking your brown nose out of the Reconquistadores' backsides and doing something for America for a change, 'cause guess what? The hispanics ain't voting for you! Is this poetic justice or what? "
===========================================
Now, just to show how "kind compassionate conservatives" are......I am gifting the McCainiac's with a brand new high-tech calculator---one that actually works.
The McQeegers really need to recalc the numbers of their (gag) New Repub Voting Base.
The first time I voted for President I voted for Reagan. But I am a little tired of people putting the man on a pedestal when he was hardly the conservative stalwart we make him how to be.
1) He gave amnesty to 3 million illegals and did nothing to stop the next flood although many warned about it’s coming.
2) He got 3 supreme court nominees only one of whom was conservative. He also pandered for the woman vote by making one of them female. 1 out of 3 is good for baseball but lousy for the court.
3) Pulled out of Lebanon without nailing the group who blew up our marines.
4) Although he got a huge tax cut through he also made a deal with the democrats for a huge tax increase.
5) He never shut down the Dept of Energy or Education as promised.
6) Never balanced the budget.
In short he was an excellent President but lets me honest he was not as conservative in action as he was in promise.
I am no fan of McCain by any stretch - mainly on illegals and global warming. But I am concerned when people say lets put an incompetent, nobody, out of nowhere to be the Chief Executive, hoping he screws the pooch so some ‘magic conservative’ will ride out of the sunrise and save the day. Who is this person? Reagan was a known quantity for fifteen years before he became President. Who are we waiting for? Newt? Jindal? Rice? (please).
Let’s not forget, everyone here thought after 8 years of Clinton the country would be begging for another Reagan and if it were not for a few hundred votes in Florida Gore would have been President.
McCain is a lot of things but he is not a socialist. He’s a typical moderate-conservative Republican in the mold of previous nominees. Like it or not that is the make up of the GOP - otherwise a conservative would be the guy.
